¹ H4436 And when the queen H7614 of Sheba H8085 heard [H8804]   H8088 of the fame H8010 of Solomon H935 , she came [H8799]   H5254 to prove [H8763]   H8010 Solomon H2420 with hard questions H3389 at Jerusalem H3966 , with a very H3515 great H2428 company H1581 , and camels H5375 that bare [H8802]   H1314 spices H2091 , and gold H7230 in abundance H3368 , and precious H68 stones H935 : and when she was come [H8799]   H8010 to Solomon H1696 , she communed [H8762]   H3824 with him of all that was in her heart.

² H8010 And Solomon H5046 told [H8686]   H1697 her all her questions H5956 : and there was nothing hid [H8738]   H8010 from Solomon H5046 which he told [H8689]   her not.

³ H4436 And when the queen H7614 of Sheba H7200 had seen [H8799]   H2451 the wisdom H8010 of Solomon H1004 , and the house H1129 that he had built [H8804]  ,

⁴ H3978 And the meat H7979 of his table H4186 , and the sitting H5650 of his servants H4612 , and the attendance H8334 of his ministers [H8764]   H4403 , and their apparel H8248 ; his cupbearers [H8688]   H4403 also, and their apparel H5944 ; and his ascent H5927 by which he went up [H8799]   H1004 into the house H3068 of the LORD H7307 ; there was no more spirit in her.

⁵ H559 And she said [H8799]   H4428 to the king H571 , It was a true H1697 report H8085 which I heard [H8804]   H776 in mine own land H1697 of thine acts H2451 , and of thy wisdom:

⁶ H539 Howbeit I believed [H8689]   H1697 not their words H935 , until I came [H8804]   H5869 , and mine eyes H7200 had seen [H8799]   H2677 it : and, behold, the one half H4768 of the greatness H2451 of thy wisdom H5046 was not told [H8717]   H3254 me: for thou exceedest [H8804]   H8052 the fame H8085 that I heard [H8804]  .

⁷ H835 Happy H582 are thy men H835 , and happy H5650 are these thy servants H5975 , which stand [H8802]   H8548 continually H6440 before H8085 thee, and hear [H8802]   H2451 thy wisdom.

⁸ H1288 Blessed [H8803]   H3068 be the LORD H430 thy God H2654 , which delighted [H8804]   H5414 in thee to set [H8800]   H3678 thee on his throne H4428 , to be king H3068 for the LORD H430 thy God H430 : because thy God H160 loved H3478 Israel H5975 , to establish [H8687]   H5769 them for ever H5414 , therefore made [H8799]   H4428 he thee king H6213 over them, to do [H8800]   H4941 judgment H6666 and justice.

⁹ H5414 And she gave [H8799]   H4428 the king H3967 an hundred H6242 and twenty H3603 talents H2091 of gold H1314 , and of spices H3966 great H7230 abundance H3368 , and precious H68 stones H1314 : neither was there any such spice H4436 as the queen H7614 of Sheba H5414 gave [H8804]   H4428 king H8010 Solomon.

¹⁰ H5650 And the servants H2361 also of Huram H5650 , and the servants H8010 of Solomon H935 , which brought [H8689]   H2091 gold H211 from Ophir H935 , brought [H8689]   H418 algum H6086 trees H3368 and precious H68 stones.

¹¹ H4428 And the king H6213 made [H8799]   H418 of the algum H6086 trees H4546 terraces H1004 to the house H3068 of the LORD H4428 , and to the king's H1004 palace H3658 , and harps H5035 and psalteries H7891 for singers [H8802]   H1992 : and there were none such H7200 seen [H8738]   H6440 before H776 in the land H3063 of Judah.

¹² H4428 And king H8010 Solomon H5414 gave [H8804]   H4436 to the queen H7614 of Sheba H2656 all her desire H7592 , whatsoever she asked [H8804]   H935 , beside that which she had brought [H8689]   H4428 unto the king H2015 . So she turned [H8799]   H3212 , and went away [H8799]   H776 to her own land H5650 , she and her servants.

¹³ H4948 Now the weight H2091 of gold H935 that came [H8804]   H8010 to Solomon H259 in one H8141 year H8337 was six H3967 hundred H8346 and threescore H8337 and six H3603 talents H2091 of gold;

¹⁴ H582 Beside that which chapmen H8446   [H8802]   H5503 and merchants [H8802]   H935 brought [H8688]   H4428 . And all the kings H6152 of Arabia H6346 and governors H776 of the country H935 brought [H8688]   H2091 gold H3701 and silver H8010 to Solomon.

¹⁵ H4428 And king H8010 Solomon H6213 made [H8799]   H3967 two hundred H6793 targets H7820 of beaten [H8803]   H2091 gold H8337 : six H3967 hundred H7820 shekels of beaten [H8803]   H2091 gold H5927 went [H8686]   H259 to one H6793 target.

¹⁶ H7969 And three H3967 hundred H4043 shields H7820 made he of beaten [H8803]   H2091 gold H7969 : three H3967 hundred H2091 shekels of gold H5927 went [H8686]   H259 to one H4043 shield H4428 . And the king H5414 put [H8799]   H1004 them in the house H3293 of the forest H3844 of Lebanon.

¹⁷ H4428 Moreover the king H6213 made [H8799]   H1419 a great H3678 throne H8127 of ivory H6823 , and overlaid [H8762]   H2889 it with pure H2091 gold.

¹⁸ H8337 And there were six H4609 steps H3678 to the throne H3534 , with a footstool H2091 of gold H270 , which were fastened [H8716]   H3678 to the throne H3027 , and stays H3427 on each side of the sitting [H8800]   H4725 place H8147 , and two H738 lions H5975 standing [H8802]   H681 by H3027 the stays:

¹⁹ H8147 And twelve H6240   H738 lions H5975 stood [H8802]   H8337 there on the one side and on the other upon the six H4609 steps H6213 . There was not the like made [H8738]   H4467 in any kingdom.

²⁰ H4945 And all the drinking H3627 vessels H4428 of king H8010 Solomon H2091 were of gold H3627 , and all the vessels H1004 of the house H3293 of the forest H3844 of Lebanon H5462 were of pure [H8803]   H2091 gold H3701 : none were of silver H3972 ; it was not any H2803 thing accounted [H8737]   H3117 of in the days H8010 of Solomon.

²¹ H4428 For the king's H591 ships H1980 went [H8802]   H8659 to Tarshish H5650 with the servants H2361 of Huram H7969 : every three H8141 years H259 once H935 came [H8799]   H591 the ships H8659 of Tarshish H5375 bringing [H8802]   H2091 gold H3701 , and silver H8143 , ivory H6971 , and apes H8500 , and peacocks.

²² H4428 And king H8010 Solomon H1431 passed [H8799]   H4428 all the kings H776 of the earth H6239 in riches H2451 and wisdom.

²³ H4428 And all the kings H776 of the earth H1245 sought [H8764]   H6440 the presence H8010 of Solomon H8085 , to hear [H8800]   H2451 his wisdom H430 , that God H5414 had put [H8804]   H3820 in his heart.

²⁴ H935 And they brought [H8688]   H376 every man H4503 his present H3627 , vessels H3701 of silver H3627 , and vessels H2091 of gold H8008 , and raiment H5402 , harness H1314 , and spices H5483 , horses H6505 , and mules H1697 , a rate H8141 year H8141 by year.

²⁵ H8010 And Solomon H702 had four H505 thousand H723 stalls H5483 for horses H4818 and chariots H8147 , and twelve H6240   H505 thousand H6571 horsemen H3240 ; whom he bestowed [H8686]   H7393 in the chariot H5892 cities H4428 , and with the king H3389 at Jerusalem.

²⁶ H4910 And he reigned [H8802]   H4428 over all the kings H5104 from the river H776 even unto the land H6430 of the Philistines H1366 , and to the border H4714 of Egypt.

²⁷ H4428 And the king H5414 made [H8799]   H3701 silver H3389 in Jerusalem H68 as stones H730 , and cedar trees H5414 made [H8804]   H8256 he as the sycomore trees H8219 that are in the low plains H7230 in abundance.

²⁸ H3318 And they brought [H8688]   H8010 unto Solomon H5483 horses H4714 out of Egypt H776 , and out of all lands.

²⁹ H7605 Now the rest H1697 of the acts H8010 of Solomon H7223 , first H314 and last H3789 , are they not written [H8803]   H1697 in the book H5416 of Nathan H5030 the prophet H5016 , and in the prophecy H281 of Ahijah H7888 the Shilonite H2378 , and in the visions H3260 of Iddo H2374 the seer H3379 against Jeroboam H1121 the son H5028 of Nebat?

³⁰ H8010 And Solomon H4427 reigned [H8799]   H3389 in Jerusalem H3478 over all Israel H705 forty H8141 years.

³¹ H8010 And Solomon H7901 slept [H8799]   H1 with his fathers H6912 , and he was buried [H8799]   H5892 in the city H1732 of David H1 his father H7346 : and Rehoboam H1121 his son H4427 reigned [H8799]   in his stead.
